Speaker 1 (00:01):
We are on the air, we get to talk to
you a little bit sooner than normal. We weren't expecting
to go here for a couple more minutes, but we'll
take the extra time, right mckaylay.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
We absolutely will. Happy Sunday, everybody. Beautiful, beautiful weather.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I will say this, Ever since we got this little
lake house, the weather's been great to be up in
Indian Lake.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You have it.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's like you bypassed all the nineties, then you got
it in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
But if you think about it, at the beginning of
this summer, it was colder for summer weather, and it
was rainy. Because I kept thinking, those poor kids who
bought these well the families buying these pool memberships, they
don't even get to use them because it was such
a yucky beginning of the summer. And then it turned
hot and muggy, and now it's beautiful. Maybe everybody should
just buy a lake house and then the weather will
the weather time for the rest of their lives. You
(00:48):
look really tan, like this is like the first time
let me see Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, and Mindy still has me. I mean, like my
face might look tan, right, how.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Can we look so tan?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well? So I kayak the Darby yesterday for three and
hours half hours.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And kayaking is so you like that's one of your
favorite things to do.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It really isn't.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I hadn't done it yet this summer. So I went
with a friend and it was it was an adventure.
Did you watch Swiss Family Robinson when you were a kid.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You don't remember that Disney movie. It was made like nineteen.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Forty five, I don't remember. I loved it.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It was like a parent Trap esque, you know the
original Trap?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, Well in Swiss Family Robinson, which some of you
listening may know, they they are castaways on a remote
island and there's this scene where they're in the river
and there was a navigating through the weeds.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Is that what you had to do?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
We had to do that twice yesterday. It was that low,
The water was that low. I think we creaked more
than we kayaked. It took us that it should have
taken us about two hours to go a couple miles,
it took us three and a half.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
So was it a workout?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh my god? I burned seventeen hundred calories?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
What by kayaking? And what just having to clear the weeds?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
What you clear the weeds, drag your kayak.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Pat Did they tell you listen the waterways looking like
this right now?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
No, we did this all by ourselves. We didn't ask
for any advice.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
We dropped in at the top of the big Darby
Access in Hilliard and we went down to Darby Bend Lakes.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
There isn't an app to tell you anything. You can
look on the.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Metro Parks website and it'll kind of show you the map.
It doesn't tell you where the river goes dry when
the water is down. Someone needs to invent a map
like that for all the rivers we have around central Ohio.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Why can't we get that? Why can't we get that map?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But I didn't wear a hat yesterday. I just had
a bandan on my head. So I kind of girl,
I mean I was, Yes, I am your kind of girl.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
When you got in here, you looked ha in you
got your shades. It's like, oh, she's been living the
life of a summer girl. And your kids are back
in school.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yes, their second school. The first day was okay, doesn't
sound great. The second day was more of a struggle.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Someone broke their iPad on the second day, I hate iPads,
By the way, Why do our kids have to use
iPads in schools?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It makes me irritated?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Wow, you really are irritated. I've heard this though. With
the technology that they bring back and forth in their
book bags, it's a lot less wear and tear on
their backs and shoulders because they don't have to carry
those big heavy books in those bag bags or there's
book bags anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Totally could see the physical benefits. But we have broken
three iPads now.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So what happens when you do that? Do you get
like a certain annowance of one? How does that work?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
We have to buy a protection package?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Do most parents do that?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yes? Most parents?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Most of them break one year. We did not buy
the protection package out of pocket two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So that's the thing. So between that and just like
why do we have to be on electronics all day
during the school versus like.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm one hundred percent there?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How does screen time end up looking?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I don't want to like rant too much, but like,
how does screen time end up looking when you're on
electronics at school for eight hours a day and then
you want to come home and you want to like
play games, so anyway ran over.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It was okay.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I have to agree with you on that you don't
have to go through this anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And I still have six or I have six more
years of it until college. Until college, bndy, you're out
of all of it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, well, just enjoy it. I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I guess it's going to be.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So your kids are back in school and breaking iPads
where amine. I'm just going to show you one picture
because this is of well, I'm just gonna show you it.
Did you look at this face?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Did you get a tube?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeh?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh my gosh, look at this face?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
There the family went tubing. I had to come here
to work, so Randy has Kimmy with several of her
friends out on the tube. But you know what, I
have learned so much over these last couple of weeks
of getting this to the lake House. And I don't
want to always talk about the lake House every.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Time, but I mean, but it's just so we can't
in the middle of November. So let's talk about it now.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
But you're gonna love these stories, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And I'm going to experience it this coming Friday.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Listen to this that just two things out of the
blue my favorite place. I've told you about this on
Indian Lake is where so far it's.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
The starts with the Sea.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, Cranberry Cranberries. Yeah. So this was the first night
that Cammy stayed there. Okay, Cammy had three of her
friends and they all stayed the night. And there was
a band playing at Cranberry's. There's bands every night at
all these different places. So I really wanted to show Cranberry.
So we were there and I'm sitting with at this
one point with Randy and Cammy at a table and
looking over across next to me down the road of
(05:37):
a bar. I mean just the bar next to me,
not that I mean the not the restaurant bar. But
I'm just like, I'm looking at this girl and I'm thinking,
this girl looks just like my friend in college. Her
name was Patty Magazine. It's been thirty four years find college, Patty.
I used to call her Patio Furniture. But I'm looking
(05:59):
at her and she's talking to like a really young dude,
and she looked young. I'm thinking, gosh, if that's not Patty,
and maybe it's a younger sister or something. So I'm
telling Cammy and Randy I'm like, gosh, it looks like Patti.
Make this girl that was a friend of mine in college.
You lose track of people. Some people, you know, we
were just kind of a temporary friend. We were in
Italian class together in ot Ohio State. So came He's like, well,
(06:22):
then go say something to her. Mom, you would tell
me that. I said, okay, I will if it is
her or if it isn't her, I'm at least going
to make the introduction. So I go over there and
Mi Kayla, it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Was her, No way.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I couldn't believe it. I gave her the longest, tightest hug.
I'm like Pattio furniture. I can't believe it's you. She
lived in Cleveland. I literally went to Cleveland to visit
her family. She met my mom. She came to Westerville
before because we had this little group of Italian class people.
It was. I couldn't believe that it was Indian Lake
that brought us together through all these years. We don't
(06:54):
have each other's numbers what we do now.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So what was she doing in Indian Lake.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
She goes to different lakes and just enjoy's life. She's
just married, divorced. I mean, we just got caught up
after thirty four years. And then this is a top
or two. So then I meet this woman on Friday
night who went to Ready whose kids went into sales,
and she knew the whole CCL thing, and oh my gosh,
I used to watch you a channel for you know
(07:18):
how many people I've heard that. My next door neighbor said,
I used to watch you in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I'm like what, And You're like, oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
How can I remember? On the wla O days, I've
had fun meeting people I've read after church.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We all went to church to day. I saw Cammy's
picture from church. Tell me about it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Like church, It was just so nice. It was so
what is wholesome?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's like gottmin Yes, okay, it.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Felt to me like a Methodist church because I'm Methodist.
It just it just felt so right. And so everybody's
so nice and and they're just so glad to have
us there, and they've been so welcoming. It's been great.
And they followed the process. When you and I would
talk about on the air, which one we're going to choose,
Bucky Lake, Apple Valley, all these different ones are like,
oh no, Indian likes a no brainer. All we hope
(08:04):
Mindy chooses Indian Lake. So then I meet this woman
and we meet back up on Saturday night. We met
her Friday, the one from the CCL whose kids went
to Ready. Okay, So she comes with another friend of hers,
a guy friend, and he ends up being Freddie Boneye Junior.
You're like, who's Freddy Bawny. Yeah, Freddy Boneye was one
of my mom's best friends. Like, I always heard these

stories about Freddie Boneye. So there I am meeting Freddie
Boneye's son. I mean, it's it's so awesome. I am
so happy. I love everybody I've met. It's just it's
a great thing. One other thing I'm gonna tell you, Okay, okay, okay,

(09:09):
top of the five o'clock hour, and you're gonna love

a little booklet, so for anyone who stays the night
or visits and brings a cocktail, Mikayla, oh, sign the book.
(11:36):
I'm going to keep it for a year, and I'm
going to look back and look at all the people
that visited our little lake house within the year and
what they said and what they wrote, I'm not and
I can't get into the details of this one, but
Cammy and her friends had the adventure of a lifetime.
And it wasn't a good adventure, but it was the
story for another day. But it was involved. I can't
(11:56):
wait to hear not even our.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Boat somebody else.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh yeah, buddy good, I can't even go there. Probably well, legal.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Issues, but life hashtag life, hashtag leg life.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Right, But isn't that fun? This is so up your
alley because you love books and writing and stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I love the guest book idea. I love that.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Dixie is the most thoughtful friend. Not only did she
come and visit, she wanted to get me this little
Indian Lake little wood thing that's hand carved so I
could have it somewhere in.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That housewarming she did.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And then she got this little thing that you put
on your oven. What's the cool You can wripe your
towel a.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Little oh, the one that has that you can button
and the towel it says Indian Lake.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I said, Dixie, I want to treat you. This is
my This Lake house isn't just for Randy, Me, Kylon Cameron.
It's for everybody. And I just want to treat everybody.
I said, stop doing this. I don't want you to
come here and buy me little things.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
But we have to bring you things when it's a
new house. You know, that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Let me just take it, make an Amazon wish list
or no, it has to be. What I love about
Dixie is that is so specific, right, It's not an
Amazon item. It's an item that's made from something or
someone local.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So I love that. It's true she wanted to be
local and handcrafted. And it is true. Now when I
see that, I automatically think it did hard.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
We have a lot coming up, man, we can talk.
Kyleen's back there, just like what is going on?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Like I'm ready to chime right in.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But you know what, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Girl power. And she said that last hour because Boots
had to leave after the first hour. So it's been
all girl power, hasn't it. We booted Boots, We boot
and Kyleen grew up with Boots, right I did. Yeah. Yeah,
he started his sales career in cars and everything with
my dad. So yeah, so they go way back to
(13:45):
when he got the nickname Boots. You met Kyleen at
our sponsorship.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
We talked about.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
We talked about that, So it's going to be a
good too in three quarter hours, Kyleen, I'm looking forward
to I'm looking forward.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Thank you so much for being here for us. Really
important conversation coming up at four thirty five.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
We have not talked.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I have not talked to Reagan Tooakes's mother in a
long time.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, and she's such a hero for so many people.
And I put this on my Facebook page because I
want people to know that we are going to talk
to Lisa Toakes. You know, those of us who are
parents can only imagine the pain and the horror of
a kid, our child dying, let alone in this brutal manner,
(14:30):
to be kidnapped, great pleading for your life and still
being murdered. And she's still in the fight for justice
for Reagan. So we are going to have this conversation
with her. I can't believe it's been eight years.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It's wild, it really gone.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And she's so appreciative of you, Mikayla, and of myself
for having her on the show. I said, we will
always have you on the show. Always a place I
am seen. An event for them. Remember it was.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Such a great fundraiser for all that they're not doing right.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And there's another fundraiser, so she's going to hit on that,
but she really wants to talk about these darn ankle
bracelet monitors.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I was reading about this this morning. The Marshall Project
did some stories on this and why it's become a
real hot topic with the prison system and the legal system.
So I'm very curious to learn more about it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
So please for her benefit, not for our benefit, but
Lisa Toakes, the mother of Reagan Toaks, who was kidnapped,
raped and murdered, wants her story told. So by respect
for her, please stay tuned and listen to that. And
if you knew Reagan, if you want to call in
to her and just say thank you for giving this
a voice, thank you for not letting this die out,
(15:36):
because she's had to fight for this
We are on the air, we get to talk to
you a little bit sooner than normal. We weren't expecting
to go here for a couple more minutes, but we'll
take the extra time, right mckaylay.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
We absolutely will. Happy Sunday, everybody. Beautiful, beautiful weather.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I will say this, Ever since we got this little
lake house, the weather's been great to be up in
Indian Lake.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You have it.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's like you bypassed all the nineties, then you got
it in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
But if you think about it, at the beginning of
this summer, it was colder for summer weather, and it
was rainy. Because I kept thinking, those poor kids who
bought these well the families buying these pool memberships, they
don't even get to use them because it was such
a yucky beginning of the summer. And then it turned
hot and muggy, and now it's beautiful. Maybe everybody should
just buy a lake house and then the weather will
the weather time for the rest of their lives. You
(00:48):
look really tan, like this is like the first time
let me see Oh.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
No, and Mindy still has me. I mean, like my
face might look tan, right, how.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Can we look so tan?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Well? So I kayak the Darby yesterday for three and
hours half hours.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And kayaking is so you like that's one of your
favorite things to do.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It really isn't.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I hadn't done it yet this summer. So I went
with a friend and it was it was an adventure.
Did you watch Swiss Family Robinson when you were a kid.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You don't remember that Disney movie. It was made like nineteen.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Forty five, I don't remember. I loved it.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It was like a parent Trap esque, you know the
original Trap?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, Well in Swiss Family Robinson, which some of you
listening may know, they they are castaways on a remote
island and there's this scene where they're in the river
and there was a navigating through the weeds.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Is that what you had to do?
Speaker 3 (01:35):

The water was that low. I think we creaked more
than we kayaked. It took us that it should have
taken us about two hours to go a couple miles,
it took us three and a half.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
So was it a workout?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh my god? I burned seventeen hundred calories?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
What by kayaking? And what just having to clear the weeds?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
What you clear the weeds, drag your kayak.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Pat Did they tell you listen the waterways looking like
this right now?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
No, we did this all by ourselves. We didn't ask
for any advice.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
We dropped in at the top of the big Darby
Access in Hilliard and we went down to Darby Bend Lakes.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
There isn't an app to tell you anything. You can
look on the.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Metro Parks website and it'll kind of show you the map.
It doesn't tell you where the river goes dry when
the water is down. Someone needs to invent a map
like that for all the rivers we have around central Ohio.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Why can't we get that? Why can't we get that map?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But I didn't wear a hat yesterday. I just had
a bandan on my head. So I kind of girl,
I mean I was, Yes, I am your kind of girl.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
When you got in here, you looked ha in you
got your shades. It's like, oh, she's been living the
life of a summer girl. And your kids are back
in school.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yes, their second school. The first day was okay, doesn't
sound great. The second day was more of a struggle.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Someone broke their iPad on the second day, I hate iPads,
By the way, Why do our kids have to use
iPads in schools?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It makes me irritated?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Wow, you really are irritated. I've heard this though. With
the technology that they bring back and forth in their
book bags, it's a lot less wear and tear on
their backs and shoulders because they don't have to carry
those big heavy books in those bag bags or there's
book bags anymore.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Totally could see the physical benefits. But we have broken
three iPads now.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So what happens when you do that? Do you get
like a certain annowance of one? How does that work?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
We have to buy a protection package?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Do most parents do that?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yes? Most parents?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Most of them break one year. We did not buy
the protection package out of pocket two hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So that's the thing. So between that and just like
why do we have to be on electronics all day
during the school versus like.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm one hundred percent there?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How does screen time end up looking?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I don't want to like rant too much, but like,
how does screen time end up looking when you're on
electronics at school for eight hours a day and then
you want to come home and you want to like
play games, so anyway ran over.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It was okay.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I have to agree with you on that you don't
have to go through this anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And I still have six or I have six more
years of it until college. Until college, bndy, you're out
of all of it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, well, just enjoy it. I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I guess it's going to be.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So your kids are back in school and breaking iPads
where amine. I'm just going to show you one picture
because this is of well, I'm just gonna show you it.
Did you look at this face?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Did you get a tube?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeh?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh my gosh, look at this face?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
There the family went tubing. I had to come here
to work, so Randy has Kimmy with several of her
friends out on the tube. But you know what, I
have learned so much over these last couple of weeks
of getting this to the lake House. And I don't
want to always talk about the lake House every.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Time, but I mean, but it's just so we can't
in the middle of November. So let's talk about it now.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
But you're gonna love these stories, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And I'm going to experience it this coming Friday.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Listen to this that just two things out of the
blue my favorite place. I've told you about this on
Indian Lake is where so far it's.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
The starts with the Sea.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, Cranberry Cranberries. Yeah. So this was the first night
that Cammy stayed there. Okay, Cammy had three of her
friends and they all stayed the night. And there was
a band playing at Cranberry's. There's bands every night at
all these different places. So I really wanted to show Cranberry.
So we were there and I'm sitting with at this
one point with Randy and Cammy at a table and
looking over across next to me down the road of
(05:37):
a bar. I mean just the bar next to me,
not that I mean the not the restaurant bar. But
I'm just like, I'm looking at this girl and I'm thinking,
this girl looks just like my friend in college. Her
name was Patty Magazine. It's been thirty four years find college, Patty.
I used to call her Patio Furniture. But I'm looking
(05:59):
at her and she's talking to like a really young dude,
and she looked young. I'm thinking, gosh, if that's not Patty,
and maybe it's a younger sister or something. So I'm
telling Cammy and Randy I'm like, gosh, it looks like Patti.
Make this girl that was a friend of mine in college.
You lose track of people. Some people, you know, we
were just kind of a temporary friend. We were in
Italian class together in ot Ohio State. So came He's like, well,
(06:22):
then go say something to her. Mom, you would tell
me that. I said, okay, I will if it is
her or if it isn't her, I'm at least going
to make the introduction. So I go over there and
Mi Kayla, it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Was her, No way.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I couldn't believe it. I gave her the longest, tightest hug.
I'm like Pattio furniture. I can't believe it's you. She
lived in Cleveland. I literally went to Cleveland to visit
her family. She met my mom. She came to Westerville
before because we had this little group of Italian class people.
It was. I couldn't believe that it was Indian Lake
that brought us together through all these years. We don't
(06:54):
have each other's numbers what we do now.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So what was she doing in Indian Lake.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
She goes to different lakes and just enjoy's life. She's
just married, divorced. I mean, we just got caught up
after thirty four years. And then this is a top
or two. So then I meet this woman on Friday
night who went to Ready whose kids went into sales,
and she knew the whole CCL thing, and oh my gosh,
I used to watch you a channel for you know
(07:18):
how many people I've heard that. My next door neighbor said,
I used to watch you in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:23):

Speaker 1 (07:26):
How can I remember? On the wla O days, I've
had fun meeting people I've read after church.

We all went to church to day. I saw Cammy's
picture from church. Tell me about it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Like church, It was just so nice. It was so
what is wholesome?
Speaker 2 (07:42):

It just it just felt so right. And so everybody's
so nice and and they're just so glad to have
us there, and they've been so welcoming. It's been great.
And they followed the process. When you and I would
talk about on the air, which one we're going to choose,
Bucky Lake, Apple Valley, all these different ones are like,
oh no, Indian likes a no brainer. All we hope
(08:04):
Mindy chooses Indian Lake. So then I meet this woman
and we meet back up on Saturday night. We met
her Friday, the one from the CCL whose kids went
to Ready. Okay, So she comes with another friend of hers,
a guy friend, and he ends up being Freddie Boneye Junior.

a little booklet, so for anyone who stays the night
or visits and brings a cocktail, Mikayla, oh, sign the book.
(11:36):
I'm going to keep it for a year, and I'm
going to look back and look at all the people
that visited our little lake house within the year and
what they said and what they wrote, I'm not and
I can't get into the details of this one, but
Cammy and her friends had the adventure of a lifetime.
And it wasn't a good adventure, but it was the
story for another day. But it was involved. I can't

Right, But isn't that fun? This is so up your
alley because you love books and writing and stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I love the guest book idea. I love that.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Dixie is the most thoughtful friend. Not only did she
come and visit, she wanted to get me this little
Indian Lake little wood thing that's hand carved so I
could have it somewhere in.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That housewarming she did.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And then she got this little thing that you put
on your oven. What's the cool You can wripe your
towel a.

Little oh, the one that has that you can button
and the towel it says Indian Lake.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I said, Dixie, I want to treat you. This is
my This Lake house isn't just for Randy, Me, Kylon Cameron.
It's for everybody. And I just want to treat everybody.
I said, stop doing this. I don't want you to
come here and buy me little things.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
But we have to bring you things when it's a
new house. You know, that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Let me just take it, make an Amazon wish list
or no, it has to be. What I love about
Dixie is that is so specific, right, It's not an
Amazon item. It's an item that's made from something or
someone local.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
So I love that. It's true she wanted to be
local and handcrafted. And it is true. Now when I
see that, I automatically think it did hard.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
We have a lot coming up, man, we can talk.
Kyleen's back there, just like what is going on?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Like I'm ready to chime right in.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But you know what, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Girl power. And she said that last hour because Boots
had to leave after the first hour. So it's been
all girl power, hasn't it. We booted Boots, We boot
and Kyleen grew up with Boots, right I did. Yeah. Yeah,
he started his sales career in cars and everything with
my dad. So yeah, so they go way back to
(13:45):
when he got the nickname Boots. You met Kyleen at
our sponsorship.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
We talked about.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
We talked about that, So it's going to be a
good too in three quarter hours, Kyleen, I'm looking forward
to I'm looking forward.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Thank you so much for being here for us. Really
important conversation coming up at four thirty five.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
We have not talked.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I have not talked to Reagan Tooakes's mother in a
long time.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, and she's such a hero for so many people.
And I put this on my Facebook page because I
want people to know that we are going to talk
to Lisa Toakes. You know, those of us who are
parents can only imagine the pain and the horror of
a kid, our child dying, let alone in this brutal manner,
(14:30):
to be kidnapped, great pleading for your life and still
being murdered. And she's still in the fight for justice
for Reagan. So we are going to have this conversation
with her. I can't believe it's been eight years.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It's wild, it really gone.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And she's so appreciative of you, Mikayla, and of myself
for having her on the show. I said, we will
always have you on the show. Always a place I
am seen. An event for them. Remember it was.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Such a great fundraiser for all that they're not doing right.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And there's another fundraiser, so she's going to hit on that,
but she really wants to talk about these darn ankle
bracelet monitors.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I was reading about this this morning. The Marshall Project
did some stories on this and why it's become a
real hot topic with the prison system and the legal system.
So I'm very curious to learn more about it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
So please for her benefit, not for our benefit, but
Lisa Toakes, the mother of Reagan Toaks, who was kidnapped,
raped and murdered, wants her story told. So by respect
for her, please stay tuned and listen to that. And
if you knew Reagan, if you want to call in
to her and just say thank you for giving this
a voice, thank you for not letting this die out,
(15:36):
because she's had to fight for this
